General Township Updates and Rumours

[ijmorlan]

The boundary as shown by Woolwich's GIS has it basically running in a straight line from Benjamin & Weber to Bridge & King. This means Walmart and everything on Benjamin Rd. between Weber and Farmers Market Rd. is in Woolwich. Keep in mind that postal addresses don't necessarily conform to the municipality that you are actually in.

I believe there is some sort agreement with the City of Waterloo on property taxes in that district, but I don't recall the details.

I think the Woolwich/Waterloo boundary is a straight line running from the corner of Cedar Grove/Wilmot Line/Township Rd. 2 all the way to the river, at various locations running along Benjamin Rd., Bridge St. W, University Ave. E, and Country Squire Rd. I am not certain but believe the boundary actually runs right down the middle of those roads. To my knowledge this is an unmodified original township boundary, which explains why it is so simple — there probably aren’t more than a dozen buildings in the entire Region which pre-date it.
